About this eBook

Author Trollope, Anthony, 1815-1882
Title Lady Anna
Credits E-text prepared by Delphine Lettau and Joseph E. Loewenstein, M.D.
Summary "Lady Anna" by Anthony Trollope is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the tumultuous life of Lady Anna, the daughter of Josephine Murray, who faces significant legal and social battles stemming from her father's dubious marital status and the turmoil of her family's past. The opening of "Lady Anna" introduces us to Josephine Murray and her disastrous marriage to Earl Lovel, highlighting the Earl's cruel treatment and the illegitimacy issues that plague their daughter, Anna. Josephine, having been married under false pretenses, struggles to assert her rights as the Earl's wife while navigating societal scorn and legal challenges. The narrative captures her despair as she is cast aside, turning to the support of Thomas Thwaite, a local tailor, who champions her cause. As the story unfolds, we witness the complexity of identity, legitimacy, and class in a society that harshly judges women like Josephine and Anna, setting the stage for the conflicts and resolutions to come.
